2. Thermodynamic system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_system

   The presence of reactants in an open beaker is an example of an open system. Here the boundary is an imaginary surface enclosing the beaker and reactants. It is named closed , if borders are impenetrable for substance, but allow transit of energy in the form of heat, and isolated , if there is no exchange of heat and substances.

3. Closed system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_system

   In nonrelativistic classical mechanics, a closed system is a physical system that does not exchange any matter with its surroundings, and is not subject to any net force whose source is external to the system. [1] [2] A closed system in classical mechanics would be equivalent to an isolated system in thermodynamics. Closed systems are often ...

4. Open system (systems theory) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_system_(systems_theory)

   Open systems have input and output flows, representing exchanges of matter, energy or information with its surroundings. An open system is a system that has external interactions. Such interactions can take the form of information, energy, or material transfers into or out of the system boundary, depending on the discipline which defines the ...

5. Isolated system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolated_system

   Properties of Isolated, closed, and open systems in exchanging energy and matter. In physical science, an isolated system is either of the following: a physical system so far removed from other systems that it does not interact with them. a thermodynamic system enclosed by rigid immovable walls through which neither mass nor energy can pass.

6. Open system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_system

   Open system, in management science a system that is capable of self-maintenance on the basis of throughput of resources from the environment; Open system of learning, where information is sourced from multiple sources; Open government, system; Open-system environment reference model, one of the first reference models for enterprise architecture

7. Biological thermodynamics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_thermodynamics

   Biological thermodynamics (Thermodynamics of biological systems) is a science that explains the nature and general laws of thermodynamic processes occurring in living organisms as nonequilibrium thermodynamic systems that convert the energy of the Sun and food into other types of energy. The nonequilibrium thermodynamic state of living ...

8. First law of thermodynamics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_law_of_thermodynamics

   For the first law of thermodynamics, there is no trivial passage of physical conception from the closed system view to an open system view. [68] [69] For closed systems, the concepts of an adiabatic enclosure and of an adiabatic wall are fundamental. Matter and internal energy cannot permeate or penetrate such a wall. For an open system, there ...

9. Closed system (control theory) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_system_(control_theory)

   The terms closed system and open system have long been defined in the widely (and long before any sort of amplifier was invented) established subject of thermodynamics, in terms that have nothing to do with the concepts of feedback and feedforward. The terms 'feedforward' and 'feedback' arose first in the 1920s in the theory of amplifier design ...
